Hardwick Family genealogy

This Hardwick family genealogy was kindly contributed by Gail Reinhart who writes: "I am pretty sure about Generation 4 onwards. Generation 1 - 3 are a little sketchy and I'm not convinced it's accurate. Of course, I'm missing some of the children here and there, as I was only interested in going back through my father's exact line. My father is #17 and I am #25."
